Everyone has a movie or TV show that, no matter what else is happening, stops you in your tracks.

I can recite almost every line in “Parent Trap” (the Lindsey Lohan version), “The Way We Were,” “The Natural” and “A League of Their Own.” I will never pass up a Hallmark Christmas movie, “A White Christmas” or any slasher movie.

When it comes to TV, there is a list of favorites but in my family, “Seinfeld” will always be at the top. If you ever want to see some not-so-friendly competition, watch us play our Seinfeld Trivia game.

So I was thrilled the other day when, trying to escape the madness of Trump, I switched the channel and I found Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer.

George and Jerry were having one of their meaningless conversations and George says, “Jerry, just remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it.”

Suddenly It came to me. There is no escape from Washington. “Seinfeld” is the world of Trump.

Jerry called it early on when he said, “Well let’s start the insanity.”

And clearly George has a direct line to DC: “I lie every second of the day. My whole life is a sham.”

In his first 869 days as President, Trump said 10,796 things (12 a day) that were either misleading or outright false, according to “The Washington Post’s Fact Checker.”

And then there’s Elaine, who questions, “Is it possible that I’m not as a attractive as I think I am?”

Trump asked a crowd in West Hester, Penn., “Do I look like a president? How handsome am I, right? How handsome?”

Jerry isn’t any better: He dumped a girlfriend because she had “man hands.”

Donald Trump wants “man hands.” Trump is over sensitive about the size of his fingers so much so that the tech website Gizmodo found at least three retouched photographs on his social media pages with alterations that included Trump’s fingers slightly larger..

No need to go into the debate battle Trump had with Marco Rubio over the size of his hands and other things. All I know is George blames “shrinkage.”

Kramer smuggled in illegal Cubans, even though he thought they were going to be cigars. Work on Trump Tower was done by illegal immigrants who worked for $4 an hour.

George faked being handicapped for special treatment. Trump faked bone spurs to avoid the draft.

It was not a pretty sight when Jerry wanted Elaine to find out if his girlfriend’s breasts were real. Neither of Trump’s first two wives sported “real” ones and creepily Trump once wanted his daughter Ivanka to get implants.

Trump offered former President Obama free golf for life. All his life Kramer tried to play golf for free.

Trump is a germaphobe. Donald, have you met Puddy? For that matter has Vice President Pence met Puddy? If so, maybe Pence is the one who took your “Jesus fish.”

Trump won a Golden Raspberry Award (a Razzie) for Worst Supporting Actor for his role in “Ghosts Can’t Do It.” George got a wedgie from his now homeless P.E. coach Mr. Hayman.

Trump claimed that he has never used an ATM. George refused to share the password for his ATM card.

Two decades ago Trump was billions of dollars in debt. Two decades later Kramer still doesn’t have any money.

In the ladies room at a restaurant Elaine begged the woman in the next stall to share her toilet paper: Three squares?” Elaine pleaded. “You can’t spare three squares?”

Trump wanted to make sure the Puerto Rican hurricane victims weren’t in that dilemma so he threw them rolls of paper towels.

Kramer stayed too long in a tanning booth and looked like he was trying to be Black. Trump said if he could start over again he would be a black man with a good education because they had an advantage.

George once wore a wedding ring to see if it made him more approachable to women. Trump removes his wedding ring so it makes him more acceptable to women.

Time and again George also told tales about his career, once lamenting to Jerry, “Why couldn’t you make me an architect? You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect.”

Trump always pretended he wanted to be a president.

George also once acted like he was a marine biologist.

Trump also likes to act presidential.

Kramer told Jerry, “Marriage? Family? They’re prisons! Manmade prisons! You’re doing time! You get up in the morning, she’s there. You go to sleep at night, she’s there. It’s like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom.”

With his track record, Trump obviously agrees.

George’s philosophy on money is pretty simple: “Borrowing money from a friend is like having sex. It just completely changes the relationship.”

Trump found that out when he tried to do business with Putin.

Trump likes the Russians. George likes Russian hats. Elaine made a Russian author mad and during a game of war, Kramer and Newman fought over the Ukraine.

It was obvious that George’s “Worlds are colliding” theory was right on the mark when Trump saw his buddy Vlad Putin whispering to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who happens to be one of the good friends of Trump’s son-in-law.

There is a movement to remove Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Jerry and George wanted to remove Kramer from Hollywood.

George told his friend, “Please a little respect for I am Costanza, Lord of the Idiots.”

Trump said, “I’m a stable genius.”

Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer laughed at a fat guy. Trump makes fun of fat people (even if they support him), handicapped people, women, immigrants, people who disagree with him, the media….

Jerry offended a Polish immigrant when he accidentally insulted her. The more Trump can upset an immigrant, the happier he is.

I have no doubt Trump’s favorite Seinfeld line is “No soup for you!” I bet Trump is the real reason Babu Batt was deported. Babu did say, “You bad man! Verry verry bad man!”

And we all secretly know that Trump is infatuated with Nancy Pelosi. It’s like George said, “This woman hates me so much, I’m starting to like her.”

It seems like the similarities never end.

George was referring to a liaison he had with a cleaning woman when he said, “Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing.”

When she just screams “get out” it’s usually to indicate her surprise. I think I know what she is actually referring to.

Maybe I’m wrong and Kramer was actually channeling Trump when he said, “Am I crazy? Or am I so sane I just blew your mind!”

It is more likely George was referring to The Donald when he said, “You know, If you take everything I’ve accomplished in my entire life and condense it down into one day, it looks decent.”

Trump had his own board game. So does Seinfeld. We just have to determine which one includes the question, “Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank God that you know me and have access to my dementia?”
